"I'm sorry for your story, but I think you are a very strong and independent girl, um...actually my mom hopes for me to find a submissive girl. So...thanks for your coming and good luck to you."
That was my ninth blind date, as you can see, it failed. I am Stormy, a policewoman, 28, and single since I graduated from university and broke up with my first love. We broke up because... Alas! Better let bygones be bygones. Since then, I have stayed single, lonely but also free, and I am a workaholic

I wrote this blog based on Tara's Practising English Online Challenge. I've added some information and made some amendments from my original blog.
Years ago, I stumbled upon EC when I was looking for an English Chat Room to alleviate my boredom. I met many good friends, but at that time, not many English Teachers or native English Speakers joined the Chat Room. When I re-entered EC somewhere in October last year, EC had changed. I found out many English Teachers and also native English Speakers w

Love is a lovely and loving word. But do you really know it well?
Actually love has many different forms, or you can say "she" has a large family. Ok, let's have a look at different love forms:
Noun: Love, lover, loveliness
Adjective: Lovely, loveable, loving, loved
Adverb: Lovingly.
Do I leave out any of "her" family members? If I do, please remind me!
Girls, mind you, at least look for a guy who knows different love forms; Boys, from now on, keep all the love forms in mind, or the smart girls w
This blog post discusses ESP as a type of English class. The blog is not at a beginner level and will be too difficult for beginners unless you take your time using your dictionary and the vocabulary words at the end. I do hope that upper intermediate readers will be able to understand this topic easily.
ESP stands for English for Specific Purposes. It is sometimes called English for Special Purposes which means the same.
ESP describes English classes designed to teach specialized or technical E
This blog is motivated by Tara Benwell's writing challenge. To be honest, I like writing challenges because you can see different sparkling ideas from different bloggers, and that's really a cool thing!
Hello, everyone! I am Mickey! I joined MyEC during my last summer holiday. It was in July if my memory serves me well. I am writing this blog to share with you my adventures of practising English on MyEC.
You may want to ask why I joined MyEC. That's a question, and I have thought about it every o

Born in a family where most of the members are teachers I and my two sisters are expected to be teachers as well. There is a problem though I hate school ever since I step on it the first time. On my entire school life I was constantly looking for a reason not to attend school. School back then was just a way for me to get away with house hold chores. Up to these days I still can say that the reason I finish University is because back then it’s one of the major requirement to get a job. It took
In few days, I will have to give my final exams. I am supposed to study for them, but I don't have any intentions or passions for that. I think I am so exhausted mentally. The reason that I realized I am mentally so exhausted was a nice message that I recieved from a friend on EC. The message made me think that I have lost true joy and contentment of my life because of my university workloads.
Then, one thing guidde me to another. To take this university workload and stress off of my shoulder, I
I just returned from an excellent TESOL convention in Dallas, Texas. The annual convention provides professional development for English language teachers from all over the world. I always enjoy listening to the ideas of teachers, administrators, publishers, and writers. Like every year, I always come home feeling inspired.
This year, I attended an excellent session on materials writing. In the English language teaching (ELT) industry, a materials writer is someone who writes materials (tests, l
Who can say watched this animation and read the book and didn’t enjoy J here is a letter from Dadyy- long – legs to judy that I really enjoyed
Judy! I totally agree with you that some people will not ever live , and knowing life as a race. They want to reach a point in the distant horizon. And they do not realize they so exhausted and may not reach to the goal .and if they reach they see their self in the finish line in while they haven’t noticed to the direction and haven’t enjoyed ,then it i
My favorite punctuation is a question mark. It's love at first sight, the first time I learnt the punctuations, I fell in love with it. As for the reasons, I can blurt out at least 3.
First, it is the cutest punctuation! Dont you think it looks like a part of our body? Yes, it is like our ear! Looking at your eye, nose and your mouth in the mirror, they also form a ? shape.
Second, it is one of the most common used punctuations. It's like a hook, intriguing your curiosity and make you think.

While I was in the main chat room yesterday, a fellow EC member asked me to bring up a topic. I told him in jest: “Okay, how about my criminal mind?” He replied with another question: “Why do people kill…commit murder?” In answer, I typed the words “greed”, “power”, “lust”. His next question shocked me. “Will you have the heart to do it?” Whoa! I almost fell off the chair. I was about to answer again when all of a sudden other members entered the chat room and then all I could see were “hi”, “he
“Ma-ma, what's that?"
"That's a tractor!"
"A tractor, oh, tractor, tractor..."
"Baby [小宝], pick that bottle up!"
"O-k" Baby was excited and happy, just like an innocent little kid.
"Rumble, rumble, rumble..." All of a sudden, a train screamed by. As the rumbling and whoosh of the train speeded through the countryside, some farmers witnessed the accident and called the hospital as soon as possible. Before the ambulance arrived, however, the woman had died.
"Ma-ma, that tractor, that tractor, just pass

That day we met each other for the first time. You were talkative, and I was silent. You asked me if I was ok, and I was curious why you were so brave. In the evening we had our first dinner on our campus together, and we first took a walk. I remembered you made me blush by asking if I had a boyfriend. And I don't know where my courage came from that I joked back by telling you I had many, actually none.
The second day when I borrowed a poem book from the library, you teased me I was a bookish g
My wife and I decided that we would attend the TESOL Arabia meetings last month. It was over 6,000 km of driving and two weeks of our hard earned vacation, but we also got to see Dubai and Oman for the first time.
Arriving in Dubai we had an impressive view (in the dark) of this very modern and very clean city. I took this photo two days later.
We missed the first day of TESOL because the people responsible for getting our exit visas took five days getting our papers so we could leave Saudi Arabi
I have left my homeland for 15 years since I graduated from high school and studied at law school. Upon leaving lecture room then becoming a lawyer, I have not returned place where I grew up but stayed in city to live and work so far. Several times per year coming back there to visit roothome to satisfy the so called "nostalgia" then returning city to cover mind with tons of work, sometime, I almost forget the very immense green fields where I would run through with friends.
I do reproach myself
Today this beggar learnt some new stuff from the kind teacher, here:
prolific, productive, fruitful and feracious
prolific: abundant growth, generation. <a prolific composer>
It can mean fruitful but one can be prolific and have bad material (not fruitful)
productive: usually means good results.
fruitful: So creates lots of good stuff = fruitful
feracious: Unabridged Dictionary (means it is very rarely used), producing abundantly : prolific, fruitful <a world so feracious, teeming with endl
